Montblanc Limited Editions Part 2

Montblanc Limited Editions Part 2

A few months ago one of my local pen friends moved to another state-BOO! But before he left he very generously gifted me with samples of his limited edition Montblanc inks. I don’t have enough ink to do full reviews of them, but I thought it would be fun to look for similar inks for each one.

Ink Review #997: PenBBS 365 Zi

Today’s ink is PenBBS 365 Zi from Season 24. Thanks to Vanness Pens for sending a sample over for review. (I just realized I mis-labeled the number in this photo-it’s 365 not 367 but I don’t have enough ink to re-do it so we’re just gonna run with it. Please pretend it says 365.)

Nebula Note Notebook

I love Tomoe River paper-really, it’s my absolute favorite paper for fountain pens. Recently a pen friend offered me a Nebula Note by Colorverse so I of course said “yes please!” I never turn down free notebooks. You can find this notebook for sale at Goulet Pens.

Ink Review #992: Kobe #39 Brick

Occasionally I’ll attend a local pen meetup and friends will hand me inks to review. At our last meetup a friend handed me a bottle of Kobe #39 Brick and said “have fun!” My friend got this bottle from Pen Chalet, but they no longer carry Kobe inks, so you can find this ink for sale at other retailers including Vanness Pens.

Mountain of Ink

Hi, I’m Kelli, and I’m the brain behind Mountain of Ink. I’m a homeschooling mama of three littles, full-time student, aspiring photographer, amateur chef, and lover of all things stationery. I think any day that doesn’t involve learning and playing with ink is a day wasted. On my site you will find fountain pen, ink, and paper reviews, along with stationery bits and bobs along the way. You can find me @mountainofink on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest.
